ClGAR-CUTTE'R.

SPECIFICATION forming` part of Letters Patent No. 249,028, datedNovember 1, 1881.

Application filed April 16, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Beitknown thatLOYRIAoDUBRUL, ofNew York, in the county and State of NewYork, have invented new and useful Improvements in Uigar-Butt Cutters.of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to i|n provements in the class of cigar-buttcuttersillustrated in my patent of July 8,1879, No. 217,351, and comprises aconstruction of throat-plate which leaves the opening or passage for thechips entirely free. This is effected, in part, by prolonging thethroat-plate and bending it around the basecorner, the bent portion orlip thus i'ormed being perforated to receive the Screw which fastens theplate at that point, and which fasteaing is thus located entirely out ofthe way of any particles or fragments that reach the tbroat, and in partby widening or setting out thelower portion of said throat. Thereis, bymy present construction of these parts, no obstruction to the escape ofthe chips or fragments.

My improvements further comprise an eye, which constitutes the rear]'ournal-bearing of the cutter-shaft, and in which said shaft slides forreversal or renewal of a cutter, as fully explained in my aforesaidpatent. The eye now employed by me is constructed of a single piece ofpointed wire, whose blunt end being bent into the form of a ring, itsother end remains straight, and is given the form of agimlet-point forready screwing into the desired part of the base, and at the same timeadjustment to the proper height. The form and dimensions of this eyefacilitate the longitudinal shift of the shaft described in my saidpatent. A similar sorew-shanked eye is employed to fasten the gagc.

111 the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of aeigar-blitt cutter embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a horizontalsection of the base at the mid-height thereot', showing the magazineforextra springs and cutter-blade. Fig.`3 is a rear end view of the base.Fig. 4 is a cross-section of thebase.

The base A may, in its external aspect, be similar to that shown in myaforesaid patent,

per portion, i, of said throat-plate is bent inward in the manner shown,so as to closely hug the face of the descending blade. On the contrary,the lower portion, fi', of said plate is set sufticiently out from plateD to afford a ready clearance and escape of the chips and dust.

The rear journal-healing or eye-Screw, K, of the cutter shaft and thefastening L of the gage are each formed of a piece ot' wire, of whichone end is bent into the form of a ring and the other end isgimlet-shaped, for ready insertion into the Substance of the slab ofwood which constitutes the base, and easy adjustment of eye-Screw K upor down, so as to sec'ure accurate parallelism of the cutter-blade withthe rear throat-plate.

' The base A is excavated,l as shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 4, so as topossess a magazine, lV[,for stowage of one or more extra springs andcutter-blades, which, having been inserted, are confined by plugs N orotherwise.

I claim as new and of my invention- 1. In acigar-buttcutter, theL-formed throatplate I, havinginturned portions i and set-out portioni', substantially as and for the purpose set i'orth.

2. In a cigar-butt cutter, the combination of vertically-adjustable rearjournal-bearing, K, throat-plate D, shaft F, cutter-blade E, and handleG, as set forth.

In testimony of which invention I liereunto set my hand.
